I've reported directly to the CEO in every position I have held save one, Kforce. I have been hired and depended upon by a half dozen founders, innovators and entrepreneurs. As their direct report and key/sole contributor, I served for each a critical role, as a trusted partner as they developed their bird's-eye view strategic and tactical goals for their respective firms. I lead in five significant positions as catalyst of their plans' implementation. At firms ranging in age from two months to thirty-years and with annual revenues from $250K to $100M, I have been the CXO's chief implementer of top down sales, marketing, pricing, training, product development and operations strategies. They employed my participation and judgment in arriving at basic decisions, in one on one collaboration with me, in the execution of strategy and goals through me. This active exposure to their bird's eye view, and direct proximity to their top-down executive authority and vision has built within me aptitudes from nuts and bolts prospecting to high-level strategic thinking.

From each one of these highly effective leaders, from their most mature strengths to their most outstanding limitations, I have discerned and learned and succeeded. In hundreds of hours of private conversations, joint client visits and presentations, and in six figure deal-making I have added to my own arsenal.
